Industry as a whole can be categorised as a SYSTEM and there are three main elements involved in creating this system.INPUTS: this is the starting point of the system, and inputs mean "the raw materials that go into making the product." Inputs include investment capitol, labour, machinery and the raw materials themselves.PROCESSES: processes can be translated as "the activities that go into transforming the raw materials into a product." Processes include transport, delivery designing, administration packaging, pricing ­ everything that's needed to make and promote the product.OUTPUTS: this is what comes out the factory after the production process and is known as the product. Outputs include factory waste, secondary products, profit and then the actual product itself.LINKAGE is when one factory relies on the OUTPUTS of another factory in order to create their own. This causes problems when one industry faces problems and closes down ­ a KNOCK ON effect is created.…read more

Location factors!!INDUSTRIES want to base their companies is area's that will benefit and help their companies to grow and earn as much profit as possible. There are four main locational factors affecting the placement of industries.· Raw materials ­ Locating near to raw materials makes it cheaper for transport costs and easier for officials to keep a check on the amount of raw substance available. This is especially important with heavy industry.· Transport ­ industries tend to base themselves close to major waterways (rivers), motorways, railways and airports so the transportation and importation of raw materials and products is easier.

Also, cities which host major universities will also be able to provide a more highly educated work force.· Market ­ access to markets is vital as locating close to large cities will reduce transport costs. This is also vital with relation to global communications as companies can benefit from trading overseas as more profit may be gained. When products are sent from one industry to another, it helps for these industries to be located close to each other and this can be classed as INDUSTRIAL AGGLOMERATION.…read more

Government Policy. Governments can greatly influence the location of industry by: · Giving cheap tax incentives · Cheap rent · Providing grants for training workers · Providing grants for building work. The government often helps places they want to develop economically in order to spread the economy in the UK and revitalise declining areas.The government are also responsible for the closure of many heavy industries as they wanted to place a higher focus of tertiary and quaternary industries.An example of an industry site helped by the government is The Middlebrook Complex in Bolton.…read more
